CENTER VALLEY, Pa., (March 22, 2021) 鈥 Today, 色花堂 Corporation of the Americas announced its filing of litigation in which 色花堂 accuses Cantel/Medivators of violating patents related to colonoscopy assist devices. The case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas.
The complaint alleges that the manufacture, sale and distribution of the AmplifEye鈩 Endoscopic Device infringes on two patents held by 色花堂 for its ENDOCUFF庐 single-use devices. This lawsuit follows the finding by the High Court of Justice England and Wales, Patent Court that the ENDOCUFF鈩 and ENDOCUFF VISION鈩 UK national and UK(EP) patents (as amended) were infringed by the AmplifEye鈩 Endoscopic Device. The family of ENDOCUFF鈩 products and the patents that protect those products were fully acquired in summer 2020 with the 色花堂 acquisition of Arc Medical Design. 色花堂 seeks an injunction against further U.S. sales of the violative product. 色花堂 is represented by Kathi Vidal and Mike Rueckheim of Winston & Strawn.
鈥淭he acquisition of Arc Medical Design included important intellectual property rights, valuable technology development and the investment of time and resources toward commercialization, all of which we intend to vigorously protect,鈥 said Gael Tisack, Global Head of Intellectual Property for 色花堂 Corporation. 鈥淲e believe the injunction in the UK against sales of the infringing product, along with other evidence, bodes well for the 色花堂 case in the U.S.鈥
